Christmas at Wildeness Cottage

Micheal, Once again thanks for your great hospitality, we enjoyed our stay at the Wilderness Cottage. It was just as enjoyable as our stay in the Sunrise Lodge in Sept. Thanks for spending the evening with us enjoying the hot chocolate and Meghan's Christmas Cookies. It looked like Meghan, our two year old Grand Daughter, really enjoyed sharing her cookies with you. We had a great Christmas there in Evergreen and look forward to coming back. I think were falling in love with the town and it's people. It was nice to come home but we sure miss our Meghan. It's never fun in the airport saying goodbye to her and Tracy even said this time Meghan started crying as they left us. She's getting older now and she realized we were leaving her. She got an Ipad from Santa so now she can Skype with us, that's cool. Thanks again for everything and we really enjoyed decorating the Cottage with Christmas lights. It made it feel homey.

Owner's Response: Rick and Michele, it was so fun to share your families Christmas visit at the Cottage. Your Grandaughter Meghens Invitiation for me to share her cookies and Hot Chocolate was one of the highlights of my 2012 Christmas. Also Enjoyed meeting Tracey and her husband and will be sure to recognize them around town. We posted your photo of the Holiday Decorated Wilderness Cottage on the VRBO listing. Will certainly look forward to seeing you all next year and once again see how much Meghan has grown. All the best for a peaceful and Abundant New Year ... Michael

Charming, cozy cabin delivers white Christmas with amazing views!

This cabin is perfect for 2-3 guests. The cabin is not large but provides everything you need for a relaxing mountain retreat. We brought our 2 little pups and our son visited from Denver and we fit comfortably. The fireplace coupled with the amazing views created a winter wonderland for us to celebrate the magic of Christmas. Michael responded very quickly to a couple of questions we had upon arriving. The cabin is located at the top of the mountain and definitely requires 4 wheel drive, without it we wouldn’t have made it. There is no wi-fi and limited cell reception, but we were on vacation and it’s nice to unplug and enjoy our time. Evergreen is an adorable little town with plenty of amenities, but it is a nearly 25 minute drive to the grocery store so plan in advance to limit your trips back and forth. Our experience was fantastic from the time of our online booking to our last minute at the cabin. Our cleaning deposit was refunded very quickly after our departure. Quite a bit is expected of you to receive your deposit refund but you have the option of forgoing the refund and leaving the cleaning to them. Looking forward to our next trip to evergreen.

Owner's Response: We thank our valued guests for taking the time to submit this review and we are always gratified when our guests find the experience they are looking for.
A couple of clarifications;
1. Cell Service; ATT & Verizon are excellent. T Mobile, Sprint and Straight Talk Wireless are very spotty everywhere in the Colorado Rockies.
2. Internet Service; Our Listing discloses that there is not Internet Service at the Wilderness Cottage, and that guests can come to our office 400 feet away to access WiFi. We also offer 5 other VRBO/Homeaway listed Evergreen Colorado Vacation Cabins and Cottages that have Internet service.
3. Contrary to our guest statement that you absolutely need a 4 Wheel drive to access the Wilderness Cottage, the only time that you need a 4 Wheel drive is during winter when the roads are snow packed. All other times of year your
2/front Wheel drive vehicle will be just. fine. If you are a prospective traveler looking for a quiet "Off the Beaten Path" Evergreen Colorado Wilderness Setting Lodging Location we encourage you to consider the "Wilderness Cottage"
Call Text or Email anytime if we can be of assistance while you plan your vacation getaway. Respectfully Micheal - Your Evergreen Colorado Lodging Host
